IIC-Intersport International Corporation GmbH (IIC) will have to do without CEO Steve Evers in the future.
After careful consideration and in line with his personal and professional goals, Evers agreed with the board not to extend his mandate, as the international umbrella organization of national intersport associations based in Switzerland announced on Thursday. Accordingly, the outgoing CEO will step down from his position at the end of December. The successor will be announced at a later date, the group said.
“I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Steve for his leadership, commitment and passion during his time at Intersport,” said Corinne Gensollen, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors. “Over the last six years, Steve has contributed significantly to the transformation and success of the company.”
Evers, who joined IIC as a board member in September 2015 and assumed the role of CEO in January 2019, has been instrumental in strengthening the brand’s position, driving innovation and fostering partnerships across the sporting goods industry. Under his leadership, the company recorded steady growth – from 11.9 billion euros in 2019 to 14 billion euros in 2024, representing a percentage growth of 17.65 percent, despite increasingly difficult market conditions.
